| What's your favorite Audiophile label, and why? Yes, there is such a difference. I am in complete agreement with your assesment. Some of the records chosen were really weird, but Ricker's work was just stellar. It's a shame that so many of the Giorgi remasters have such badly skewed frequency r... | |
| Int. Amp Recommendation I have owned the Krell and the Musical Fidelity X-A1 and A100. Neither the MF (love that abbreviation) or the Krell is better. The MF will be softer and smoother, the Krell faster and harder. My sense is that the contrast is so large that one or t... | |
| How many audiophiles to screw in a light bulb? No audiophiles; the dealers prefer to do all of the screwing. | |
| Locking RCAs are stuck I did:There once was a couple named KellyWho went around belly to bellyBecause in their hastethey used library pasteinstead of petroleum jelly. | |
| What's your favorite Audiophile label, and why? Are you speaking of the very first MFSL releases mastered by Stan Ricker, or the ones mastered by Gary Giorgi? | |
| Please help for performance with low cash...... I think that you have a number of really good choices in your price range, depending on your listening preferences. The Rega Planet is the no brainer at the price. Build quality is excellent and so is the sound. If you move upmarket later, it is a... | |
| How can I make my Kenwood 5070 TT sound better? Yes Les, www.jacksmusicfactory.com has the OM-20 Super for $109.00 and shipping is included! Excellent choice, you will really enjoy it, just don't judge it until broken in, about 50 hours or so.Marty | |
| why felt? Hold a felt mat from the top with one hand, now tap it with your fingernail. Now tap a rubber mat in the same way. What you are hearing are the resonant signatures of the two mats. The felt will have less signature. That doesn't mean you won't lik... | |
| How can I make my Kenwood 5070 TT sound better? The Blue Point is a very good recommendation. For a warm sound and less money, I would recommend the Shure M97xE, which costs a paltry $65.00. For a brighter sound, the Audio Technica AT440ml is a nice performer at aroung the $100.00 mark. It is n... | |
| Eagles Concert Guitar Player The singing and playing was turgid. They looked bored. Seemed like they should have been playing an Indian casino some where. I used to like these guys. | |
| How can I make my Kenwood 5070 TT sound better? A new cartridge will rock your world. The Empire is quite old, if the stylus is not recent, you could be compromising your entire record collection. Either way, there are many newer cartridges that will smoke the Empire for very little scratch. Yo... | |
| What is it called? Rat Shack actually has a nice volume pot, you will have to buy a little plastic box and some input and output jacks as well as some wire. If you are handy, you can build yourself a nice little one input passive preamp in less than an afternoon. I ... | |
| Folks with large collections..... Assumptions always bite you in the ass. I have quite a few of the Telarcs, both on LP and CD. Some of the performances are just great; I have a particular sweet spot for the Dvorak. I count the sound quality in with the swine, but as with all matt... | |
| What's your favorite Audiophile label, and why? Not at my house. | |
| Why don't kids nowadays know about Jazz and classi The other side of the question is "Why don't older people know about Rap and Hip-Hop?". It seems the mission of each generation is to embrace a new art form that offends the previous generations. Rock was the same way. What does Elvis look like be... |
